* UnreliableExpositor: Amon. The only authority we have on his backstory (not to mention whether or not his energybending-like powers are legit) is him, and he has every reason to lie to his followers in order to gain support for his own agenda.

* XanatosGambit: Either Amon's forces capture Korra, and Amon wins (which doesn't happen, of course) or Korra escapes, allowing horrified benders to hear the true power of Amon from the Avatar herself.

Reason: Amon did not plan for Korra to be present at the Revelation. It\'s not a Xanatos Gambit if you haven\'t planned for it. Also, it\'s never implied Amon even intended to capture Korra at this point. When he figures out who she is, he tells the Equalists to let her go.

* AbortedArc: Skoochy tells Mako that the Republic City Triads are all preparing for "something big". Mako assumes there will be a turf war, but we never actually find out what that "something big" was going to be, as Amon and the Equalists [[EvilVersusEvil make their move against the Triads]], becoming the sole antagonists of Book One.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: The first people Amon makes examples of are stripping the leader of the Triple Threat Triad and other criminals of their bending.
